Welcome to Lake Winnibigoshish — Big Winnie to those who fish it — one of Minnesota's premier walleye lakes. Sunset View Estates puts you right on it, on a lot that runs level to the water with the sand beach just steps from your door. Inside, the expanded living room steals the show. A west facing wall of windows frames the beach, the open water beyond, and the breathtaking sunsets Winnie is known for. The kitchen opens right into the living room, so the water stays in view while you're eating, entertaining, or winding down at the end of the day. Major work is already done — new roofing shingles, siding, windows, doors, furnace, central A/C, and deck, plus a sealed and coated crawl space raised two blocks for added dry storage. What's left is finish work, with most materials on site including flooring. Best of all, the home comes furnished — start enjoying the lake right away and finish the details at your own pace. Bring the boat — a 24x32 detached garage has room for it, plus the sleds and the gear. The community is gated, and the annual fee covers dock use, beach access, the community laundry building, plowing, lawn care, and garbage. The fee and taxes together still run under what a leased lot on Winnie costs each year. Year-round lake living on Big Winnie, with the best seat in the house already in place. Come take a look!
